B. & 0, EARNINGS
FOR NOVEMBER ARE
MUCH DIMINISHED
New 5"ork, Dec 23 Baltimore &
Ohio's November earnings statement
makes a -very poor showing;5 but it is
in thorough harmony with the -ejcperi-ence
of other large trunk line systems.
The gross nounted to $7,926,250,
comparing with $9,040,351 last year.
Net was ?1. 588,513, against $2,721,-429.
For the five months ending with No
vember the road showed gross earn
ings of $44,744,039, against $44,146,
241 in the corresponding, period .last
year. Net totalled $12,479,6.70, against
$13,699,750.
.Vice-President Hobbs, of the Bos
ton & Maine, who is- also comptroller
', of the Vermont Railway, asked for
bids some time ago for an offering of
$2,300,000 one year 6 per cent, notes
: to take up indebtedness for construct -ing
the Brattle bo ro extension,' and ac
quiring the Montpelier & Wells River,
! Bar re & Barre branch roads. No bids
were received.
, Missouri Pacific sold on' the Stock
Exchange at 23, a decline of 1
points from the previous closing, and
the lowest at which it has sold since
March, 1898. .
Erie Railroad Co. has applied to
the second district Public Service Com-,
mission for authority to Issue $2,000,
000 of general lien bonds under its
first consolidated mortgage, dated De
cember 10, 1895.
The most important bond offering
, scheduled for the near future is the
: issuer of $51,000,000- 50 year 4 per
I cent. New York State bonds for which
; bids will be asked some time near the
close of January. The effect of the
announcement stating that the bonds
, were to be offered was to depress out
standing state issues from 1 to 2
: points, and generally to cause a rela
tively heavy tone throughout the market-
New York state bonds "had been
celling on about a 4.05 per cent, basis
snd the decline "brought some of them
down where their yield is 4.15 per
cent. If the new 4 s could be sold on
that basis they would bring about
107. The large size of the new issue,
and the fact that it will "N be a high
premium 'bond, however, will make
the price received at the sale some
what lower than the corresponding
; level of the 4s at the time. Trading
in the new bonds, when issued, began
around lOS1, but close the week
around 104.
The Stock Exchange's committee on
securities has made a ruling with re
gard to the recent financing' done by
Canadian Pacific Railway, entitling
common stockholders to" subscribe to
an-issue of $52,000,000 6 per cent,
notes certificates to the extent of 20
per cent, of their holdings. Therul
ing is that all transactions in the stock
on December 23, except those made
for cash, shall be ex-rights, and that
rights may be dealt In after that date.
American Beet Sugar Co. is quite
certain to show the 6 per cent, divi
dend earned on its $5,000,000 prefer
red stock in the current fiscal year.
However, there will be little left for
the common stock, and there is small
hope of resumption of dividends on
this issue for some time to come. The
company is in good financial condi
tion with iet quick assets of $2,400,
000, Including over $800,000 cash, and
with no bills payable. The company
is now practically a self financing
proposition and rarely borrows money
outside of its own banks. ,
In answering the Government's
charge that it is a monopoly in r-3-'
straint of trade, the American Can
Co. will be able to submit figures
showing that since its formation there
has been a steady .reduction in the
price of cans. While the company
bases its prices on the quotations for
tin plate it is a . fact that tin platrf
prices have not declined anything like
those of cans. All of which shows

remains were turned over to Under

ment at the expense of the town, if
no friends appear to claim the body.
The deceased had been employed at
the Inn for about ten days, 'but none

able to afford the authorities assist
ance towards locating his kindred or
his residence. The deceased 'was ap
parently 45 years old.

who found- a broken leg and severe
bruises on body. The doctor took the
man to the Danbury hospital im

tended to. . At last reports, he was

monstrances, and the selectmen asslre
them that the park so far as it makes
a boundary line between the Dan-bury
road on the west and the Brookfield
turnpike on the east is town property
and consequently the town will inter
pose no objection to the work - o?

Secret Session of Board Lasts
Three Hours ' Before
Agreement Is Reached.
At a secret session which lasted
nearly three hours last . night, the
board of education arranged to award
the contract for the building of the
new high school. Closeted with the
board were Superintendent of Schoola
Charles W. Deane, James G. Rogers,
the architect who lrew the plans for
the school, his assistant, C. P. S. Card
wood and, during a part of the time.
Miss Alice M. Durkin of the firm of
Durkin & Dass, the successful hidders
for the contract.
The school will cost $312,000 com
plete without the wings. This is a
reduction of about $3,500 from the
original bid of this firm, but the firm
takes a chance of getting bonds voted
to build the wings, and proposed to
build these for $58,500. As the origi
nal bid of the concern for the build
ing without the wings was. $55,000, it
simply gets back the money allowed
on the main huilding if the wings are
built.
' This price is for terra cotta columns.
The firm agrees to take the Kelly
house which is on the property near
Lyon Terrace where the new high
school will be located, and if the
wings are tmilt to substitute lime
stone' columns at $8,000 less than the
total price originally bid.
Commissioners Webster and Havens
were in consultation with Miss Dur
kin and her building superintendent.
Paul Grillo, at the Stratfleld hotel for
an hour before the board met. When
they reached the board, meeting Mr.
Webster immediately moved that the
board go into executive session and
that the newspaper men be excluded.
After the executive session members
of the board said that the three hours
they were in session had been taken
up in an effort to have Miss Durkin
agree to huild' the school for a-lower
figure.
Little , of the money which Is pai-5
for the school will remain in- Bridge
port. The contractors are New York
people. Almost all the material used
in the building will be bought outside
of Bridgeport. The excavation for the
school will be dug with a steam shovel.
Most of the labor-used on the building
will be imported as the Durkin &
Lass people do not think they can get
suitable labor in Bridgeport.. It is said
that even .the carts and men who- will
carry away what is dug by the steam
shovel will be brought here from New
York.
The architect will receive more than
$18,000 for his fee for the building
without the wings and more than $21,
000 if the wings are added later. Mr.
Rogers has offices in New York. .
Last night a number of agents in
terested"' In selling ' workmen's com
pensation insurance to employers were
about the ante-room of the school
board offices waiting to see the award
of the contract. These agents said If
the board required contractors to re
figure on the school -the price would
be higher instead of lower, as the first
figures did not Include premiums for
workmen's compensation. 1
The motion by ,which the contract
was awarded was made by Commis
sioner Bishop and was as follows:
"Voted that the contract- for the
erection of (the main building of the
high scho.ol, without wings but with
heating, ventilation, plumbing and
electric work, he written with the low
est bidders at a sum -total for. said
work not to exceed the sum of $312,
000; provided that dates and pay
ments satisfactory to the board are
agreed upon, and further provided
that it is agreed that the board shall
have the right to demand the build
ing of the wings and the substitution
of limestone columns at a total price
not to exceed $8,000 less than the
price originally bid, with wings and
limestone columns. The board is to
transfer to the general contractor the
Kelly house to be removed when di
rected by the board provided author
ity so to do is given by the common
council." ' ...
To pave the way for the council
acting in the matter, of the Kelly
house the following resolution was
drawn and on the -motion -of Commis
sioner Boardman, seconded by Com
missioner Colonel Havens, it was also
carried unanimously: ...
"That the board of education peti
tion the common council for author
ity, to sell or make other disposition of
the Kelly house and for a re-appropriation
of the avails thereof to Its
use for use in the erection of a high
schol, and recommended to the com
mon council .the "adoption of - the fol
lowing resolution:
"Resolved, that the board of educa
tion be and they are hereby authorized
to make such disposition as to them
may seem best of the Kelly house,
situation on Golden Hill street on a
portion of the property to be used as
the site of the high school or to sell
and convey title to the same, and,
"Further resolved, that the benefits
thereof or the avails thereof, be ap
propriated to the board -of education
for use or disposition by them in the
erection of a new high school."
SPECIAL COPS ON
CARPET TONIGHT.
Special Policemen Charles Murphy
and Harris Rahn will be given a hear
ing tonigbt at a special session of the
police board to defend charges prefer
red by Superintendent Eugene Birm
ingham alleging that they did not con
duct themselves properly while on
duty at a dance in Eagles' hall. The
charges were investigated by the com
mittee on discipline and were con
sidered to be of a nature warranting
the consideration of all of the com
missioners. It is also expected that
there will be a consideration of the
annual budget and there Is an intima
tion that this will include an attempt
to push through some of the "police
improvements'' advocated by the ' ad
ministration. Calais, Me. Mrs. John A. Beam
